STILL COMING THICK.
A KICK AGAINST THE FOURTH SECTION
FROM THB UNION PACIFIC.
The Commission at kObils-LOuisisz Planters Wan
The Law Enforced Gsnsrally-Wssseid Roads
Compelled 10 Grant Free Passes
10 Cattle Men.

WASHINGTON, April ga long peti.
ton signed by Charles Francis Adams,
President of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, was filed in the office of the
Inter. State Commerce Commission to-day.
1t asks that his road be relieved from the
operation Of the fourth section of the inter
State commerce law as has already been
done in cases of other transcontinental
lines. The petition sets forth that its
through transportation is conducted
under conditions dissimilar from those
surrounding its local business, the former
being subject to competition with the
Canadian Pacific railroad, Pacific Mail
Steamship Line, tramp psteamersand clipper
ships, all Of which are beyond the control
of the Commission in making rates. The
petition goes on 10 say that with its
through tariff based on the operation of
the long and short haul clause,
the company would lose all
or nearly all of its through business,
which would 60 to the competitors men,
toned, that this result is inevitable under
the law. A tariff based on this supposi-
ton has been in effect since the law be-
came operative with the result that the
through business Of the road has been re-
duced by at least so per cent, leaving, in
fact, very little of it to be done.
On the other hand it is asserted if
through rates were made on such basis as
is required to secure the substantial part
of the business; and local rates regulated
on the same basis as required by the fourth
section, the whole earnings of the road
would not pay its fixed charges. Beliey-
ing that the conditions are such as to JUS
tify it in making discriminating tariffs be-
tween short and long hauls, yet the penal
ties Of the law are 80 severe that petitioner
fears to act on his own judgent and asks
the official sanction of the Commission
thereto by suspension of the fourth sec
tiOn of the law.

PASSES FOR CATTLEMEN.

Western Railroads Granting Privileges
That are Denied by the Eastern Lines.
ST. LOUIS, April GA local paper says
the Western railroads do not make any at
tempt at coneealng their plans in regard
to issuing passes to cattlemen.
They contend that while men are en-
gagged in the transportation of cattle they
are as much employees of the road as though
their names were on the pay roll, for other
wise substitutes would have to he paid by
the road, and the expenses included in the
shipping rate
The Eastern roads, however, denied their
patrons this privilege, with the result OF
driving from the market some Of the lead
ing buyers, who transferred their orders to
Chicago, where they had the benefit OF the
Grand Trunk cut rate.
In self defense, the indianapolis and St.
Louis Railroad returned to the pass sys-
tenn a week ago. The shipper and one
man for every two cars is allowed trans
pOrtation East in the caboOse and return
tickets by express. Chicago roads have
established a rebate of s. per car for all
live stock shipped from TeXss.

The Husband Accused.

CovINaToN, IND, April 29.-WOrd has
lust been received here of the poisoning Of
a family named Richardson, in the south
ern part of this lFountainl county. The
wife and one boy are dead, and two other
children are lying at the point of death.
The rumOrs are very conflicting as to the
author of the poisoning. Some accuse
Perry Richardson, the husband OF the
dead woman, and Others think the woman
did il herself. There is no doubt that
they were poisoned, rs post mortem ex-
animation showed considerable poison IN
the stomach OF the woman. Mr.. Richard
sou admits that he had some arsenic, but
SAYS he buried il some time ago. The night
they we're taken sick, all the family, eN-
cept the man, took some sort OF pills, the
woman taking three. She was the first to
die. one 6 he children that took only
half of one pill, will recover. The pills
were evidently the cause of death.

Charges Against Tax Commissioners.

New YORK, April 29.-The sensation in
the City Hall to-day was the preierment OI
charges against Tax Commissioners Cole,
man and DOnnelly before Mayor Hewitt
by Chas. ]. Schampagn, Vice President OF
Central Tax Payers Association. The
charges contain thirteen distinct specifica-
tions and the removal of the
commissioners is asked. The allegations
are that Commissioners Coleman and Don
nelly have wilfully omitted and wilfully
neglected their duty aud have been guilty
OF gross negligence between the lSt of De-
cember, 1885, and the 1st of July, 1886;
that during that period they failed to as
seSs property lawfully entitled to assess.
ment aggregating in value of $50, GOO, 600,
and that during the same period they al
lowed taxes TO the extent of 81, 900, 600 to
be lost to the city.
The amounts of property owned by the
Vanderbilt estate, the New York Central
Railroad Company and the various city
railway companies, aggregated $50, l49, 900
are set out in detail. The charges allege
that in all these cases the sworn returns of
the corporations disclose the existence
of the accessible property, and that Cole
man and DOnnelly, acting in concert as the
majority of the board against the protests
Of Commissioner Peitner, neglected to
make the lawful assessment. In the case
of the Hudson River Railroad Company,
showed $9,057,3Is, on which no assess
ment whatever was made. In all the
other railroad cases the amounts shown are
in excess of the assessments made by the
commissioners. The case of w. H. Van
derbilt, whose will disclosed over SIS, ,OOO,-
600 of taxable bonds was assessed $S,OOO,-
600. Mayor Hewitt said that he would
make a thorough investigation.

HALIFAX, April 29.-The Ottawa cor
respondent of the Chronicle sends that pa
per the following:
1t seems to be pretty generally admitted
that, after all the declaration that Canada
was not going on her knees to the United
States, the Americans are going to have
their way in regard to the coast fisheries.
The proposition made by the Imperial
Government TO go back TO the treaty of
Washington and give American fishermen
the use of our fisheries without any COM
pensatiOn, will be accepted by the Wash
ington Government and carried into effect.
After our fitting out our cruisers at great
expense, the Dominion Government is to
agree to an ignOminiOus capitulatiOn.
Minister Foster put the country to geeat
expense fitting out cruisers, and now he
surrenders everything that his cruisers
were designed to protect. If this is the
best the Government. can do why did they
not agree to it long ago and save trouble?
This is the question which will naturally
be asked and which the Minister will find
il difficult to answer

an immense crowd to the Colon Plaza last
night. Among the spectators were Presi

The arena was brilliantly lighted by ten
electric lights, and the gaudy uniforms Of
the matadOrs fairly blazed. The door Of
the pen was thrown open, and the first bull
made frantic rush at the picadors and in
a minute was master of the arena, having
killed one horse and gored two others. One
matador and a picadOr were laid out
though not killed.
The fighters then became very timid,
and piled the swords from the sides, being
afraid to face the animal as is usual. OF
five bulls every one was desperate in the
blazing light, and horses and fighters were
rolled over and tossed in terrible man.

One of the swordsmen attempted to kill
the bull rs he charged, and was caught on
the horns and tossed ont of the arena, al
most lifeless.
The result OF the fight was four horses
killed, several torn and crippled, two mat
adorS nearly killed and several picadors
disabled. The dazzling light seems to
make the animals wild. This was the
first time bull fighting was tried by cleo
tric light.

Pretty Girl.
ERIE, Pa, April 29.-An accomplished
and beautiful girl of seventeen years was
arrested here last evening while in the cora-
pany of an old confirmed criminal, whose
personal appearance is almost grotesque in
its ugliness.
Rusty" Collins, as he is known to the
police of Western cities and the officers of
the law, has spent most of his life in pris-
on.
He returned here two months ago from
serving sentence in the Allegheny Pen
itentiary.
Rosa Trainor, while with school COM
panions, met the ugly ex-eonyict on the
street. He was pointed out to her as q
she seemed TO have conceived q strange
passion for him, and took the first oppor-
tunity of making his acquaintance. He
was wary, thinking her attentions were n
trap of some kind set for his benefit by de-
tectiye. But she soon undeceived him,
leaving home, friends and the surround
ings of a comfortable home to follow his
fortunes. She was found in his company
soon after she left her home and was taken
in custody and returned TO her parents.
In her rage at being separated from him
sbe poured petroleum into her piano and
set fire to it, destroying the instrument
and nearly burning the house over her par
ents' head. She escaped from home again
about two weeks ago with the assistance
of her strange lover. They disappeared
then, but returned here again last night.
James Trainor, her father, got q warrant
for their arrest, and Rosa and Rusty"
were captured. He yielded, but Rosa
fought like little demon, and when her
father appeared she attacked him savagely.
Before she was seized with this strange
infatuation Rosa had borne the character
of more than ordinarially gifted young
lady, member Of the church and duti-
full daughter. Rusty" explains the case
simply by saying, with wicked leer,
She's gone on me-"
